The International Cricket Council (ICC) today issued the annual Men’s team rankings update, with India retaining its top position in ODIs and T20Is but slipping to the second position in the Test Team Rankings.
Reigning ICC World Test Championship winners Australia have overtaken India to secure the top spot in Test rankings on the back of their stunning 209-run triumph over India in the World Test Championship decider at The Oval last year.
India (120) is just four points behind Australia (124) and 15 points clear of third-placed England. The rankings update only takes into consideration teams’ performances after May 2021.
In ODIs, India may have lost the World Cup final to Australia but leads the table with 122 points while Australia are on 116 points followed by South Africa at 112 points.
In the T20 rankings, India is far ahead with 264 points while Australia and England trail at 257 and 252 points respectively.
